Morpheus Medical project using Nvidia GPUs.

The Morpheus Medical, a software that can change the way of examining people with heart problems.

One in a hundred newborns suffer from congenital heart disease. It's one of many reasons why people die prematurely in our days.The challenge for all of these patients is proper diagnostics.

Today's methods of diagnosis are invasive to patients  and imprecise.

Here comes the Morpheus Medical. a five-person startup project in San Francisco.It is software that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to build a real-time model of a beating heart.

Using data gathered during a 10-minute MRI scan, the startup’s software can build a model of a heart in full 3D (powered by Nvidia GPU equipment) with flow and function while pulsing, and the arteries around it, that doctors can play forwards and backwards, examine from every angle, and zoom in on to get the details they need to know.

The aim is to offer a tool that can be used to help patients suffering from congenital heart disease – something challenging to diagnose with newborns – and then address the growing numbers of adults suffering from trouble with the valves that move blood around the heart.

It allows doctors to replace any type of invasive procedures with something that is non-invasive, accurate and much less time costing.

Something harmless and practical thanks to technology !
